TRUMP'S CALL FOR A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR OF HILLARY IS LAWFUL AND MORALLY CORRECT

During the second presidential debate on Sunday night,
Donald Trump suggested that he would appoint an attorney general and
urge the new AG to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary
Clinton’s email malfeasance. When Clinton protested that “it’s just
awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in
charge of the law in our country,” Trump fired back, “Because you’d be
in jail.”

The media went apoplectic.

How could Trump suggest
that he’d jail his opponent? CNN’s Dana Bash compared Trump to “Stalin
or Hitler.” Clinton’s campaign manager pearl-clutched: “He was talking
like he would become some dictator of a banana republic and throw her
and his political enemies in jail.”

This is, to put it mildly, silly.

Trump didn’t say that he’d
singlehandedly send a military squad to round up Hillary and her aides
and then dump them in a darkened cell somewhere before beating
confessions out of them.

He said there would be a real investigation,
and that he believes Hillary is guilty. Both of these notions are
plausible – and both are justified given the FBI’s ridiculously rigged
investigation into Clinton’s email server.

Trump never said due process
ought to be discarded, or that Hillary ought to be summarily executed.

Hillary’s allies have for years
suggested that politicians up to and including George W. Bush be
“frog-marched” out of their abodes and into the gentle hands of law
enforcement.

The media’s sudden obsession with law and order is fascinating after
years of covering up the Obama administration’s routine violation of
legal process. From the IRS’ targeting of conservatives to the
administration’s targeting of journalists to the Hillary investigation,
the Obama administration has operated like a banana republic. To target
Trump over far milder statements is hypocrisy, to say the least.

But
that’s how the left operates: it’s not a banana republic if leftists
administer a banana republic.

That’s a pretty convenient standard for a
group of people who would allow any Democrat to violate the law on a
routine basis and then call anyone who complained disloyal.
